75% done!? No way!

I finished Chapter 5 and started Chapter 6. Chapter 6 was overtaken by Raven who felt it was time for her to have a voice. It will be a short chapter because I need to start wrapping things up for the NaNo goal. This novel is definitely longer than 50k and promises to be 80k to 100k when it is done. So I need to figure out what to have finished for NaNo or just go with it and write all the scenes out for NaNo. Not sure and I need to check the NaNo rules or FAQs for any answers about a novel surpassing the 50k goal. But have no fear, the novel will be finished in its entirety one way or another within this month and/or the next. I’m not stopping even after I’ve reached the NaNo goal.

Edit: NaNoWriMos answer is what I thought. Who would’ve guessed I would be at the point to ask these questions. Not me! Crazy!
What if I hit 50,000 words but I'm only halfway through my story?
The 50,000 word limit is a threshold, not necessarily a stopping place. Reaching 50k and realizing you still have a lot of wrapping up to do is a good thing---it gives you something to come back and work on later.

Can I keep writing and adding to my word count even after I've had the novel verified?
Absolutely. Verification simply confirms that you have crossed the 50,000-word mark. You can continue to add to your word count in the usual fashion until 11:59:59 pm on November 30th.
